How Long Does Your Battery Last

[RickGM]

With just modest use and Stamina mode on I get barely 14 hours from a full charge. Disappointing to say the least and no where near as good as my Z3. Is this typical or has my phone got a problem. Usage graph shows screen taking 52% and nothing else in double figures.

That's normal, the screen will drain most of the battery.

Yes I'm aware of that but 14 hrs doesn't seem normal. As I said my Z3 performed much better battery wise.

There are myriad factors not just the screen, check under the graph, that might help pin point the issue or re-install the latest update with PCC

When i use it as my main phone my battery will last about as long as yours but i have pretty high usage on my main phone. For the last week i've been using another phone and my Z3+ have been on my desk connected with WiFi and i've only used it when i need to check or test something. It's been on for almost 6 days and i have 18% battery left.

But if you compare the specifications for Z3 and Z3+, Z3 actually has longer battery time. Z3 has up to 920h standby while Z3+ have up to 590h. Z3+ also has has a brighter display so depending on your settings, the display may be using more battery.

6 days would be hard to believe. Am sorry.
I had my phone on stamina mode and stand-by mode for 5 hours, only handled a couple of calls and the battery went down from 100% to 85%
I have been using my IPhone most of the day and just checking whatsapp on my Xperia with the screen brightness is set to the one almost low light and most of the time the phone is on stand-by mode and after 18 hours battery went down to 55%
Sorry 6 days is a bit hard to take it!

Normal mode (no stamina and no battery saving stuff): a few phonecalls, some texting, checking weather, using e-mail app and a a little surfing. Mostly on WiFi

All of the above usually brings my phone down from 100% in the morning to 70-80% in the evening

After two days (48 hours) of this kind of activity (no usage during the night) i usually come down to around 25-30%. I have never gone beyond 48 hours without recharging. Based on this i guess that i could go up to three days without charging.

Heavy usage, but still no battery saving stuff: watching video on 3G/4G, surfing a lot and playing games, talking, texting etc. usually brings the phone from 100% in the morning to 20-30% in the evening (approx. 12 hours).

Hope this helps

I'm lucky if I can get 6 hours on normal use. My phone crashes apps and randomly reboots itself a lot throughout the day and that process uses a lot of battery.

When i use it for facebook, youtube and etc it lasts about 2 -3 hours only from full charge..

I am also getting the same problem with mine. Am getting 10 to 12 hours of battery backup on one full charge. I use it for normal calling and WhatsApp and simple browsing.What is the problem I don't know. My z3 gave me nearly 1 and half day battery with the same usage on one full charge.
